How to get grayscale bitmap or PNG images with Ranger

As of release 4.3.1.0-2.0.31.0, RangerForSmartPVA supports grayscale bmp or png images.

In the .ini file located at C:\ProgramData\Silver Bullet Technology\Ranger\Scanner Plug-ins\Burroughs-SmartPVA\Burroughs-SmartPVA.ini
See the following options:
  1. [Image.FrontGrayscale]// Compression type
  2. //    3 = JPEG
  3. //    20 = Grayscale Bitmap
  4. //    21 = Grayscale PNG
  5. // The default is 3.
  6. COMPRESSIONTYPE=3

  8. [Image.RearGrayscale]
  9. // Compression type
  10. //    3 = JPEG
  11. //    5 = Full Resolution JPEG
  12. //    20 = Grayscale Bitmap
  13. //    21 = Grayscale PNG

These options must be set to the appropriate image type. In addition, the generic options to enable grayscale images must be set.
